I have them schedule directly with my calendar so it's convenient with them.

I am looking for a convenient and inexpensive way to collect rent online, if you have any suggestions of other online services.

I've had some work done but leaving so much money on the table is ridiculous while they pocket the savings because it's "convenient" for me to keep the same tenants.

Whatever you decide to do, do not let the tenant intimidate you into adding someone to the lease and doing so at their convenience.

There is something to be said about the convenience of it. 

., you definitely want to do this for higher end rentals because people expect modern conveniences and it will get you top rent for the place.

They also help 'sell' the place to the potential new tenant, talking about the lifestyle or conveniences that comes with the house, and it seems to help minimize the vacancy period.Does anyone else do this?

You cannot just put in whatever rules you want to suit your convenience.

I don't think they are particularly unreasonable for a careful landlord, but I think the quality of tenants in the area might not be so great to begin with and including these details upfront makes me come across as a tough landlord:  Application: Background check ($25) Past landlord, employer, and personal referencesLease Points: Initial lease term is 8 monthsMonthly rent of $865 due on the 1st of each monthRefundable Security Deposit of $865Pet Fee (if applicable) of $200 upfront and additional $25 per monthOptional FrontPoint security system for $100 upfront and additional $50 per monthTenant pays for water, gas, and electricityRefrigerator and range oven includedWasher, dryer, dishwasher, and microwave not includedNo smokingAbsolutely no illicit drugs or other illegal activityTenant responsible for damages beyond ordinary wear and tearTenant required to purchase renter’s insurance before move-inNo assigning or subletting without landlord’s permission* The above list is intended only for purposes of convenience and is in no way incorporated into or comprehensive of the Lease Agreement, nor is it binding.

The majority of my tenants are 30-ish so they will like the on-line convenience.
